In another national media nod, USA TODAY has featured Idaho’s Trailing of the Sheep Festival as one of “10 Great Places for Fall Festivals”. This latest accolade is the latest in a growing list of national and international media recognitions for the unique event, which is celebrating its 17th year Oct 10-13, 2013 with 4days of events taking place in the communities of Hailey, Ketchum and Sun Valley.

The renowned photo journalist, Peter Gutterman, who made the recommendations of his top fall festival picks to USA Today, attended the Trailing of the Sheep Festival last year as part of a travel media tour organized by the Hailey Chamber of Commerce, Idaho Tourism, the Trailing of the Sheep Festival and CW Communications.
